Basketball vs. Football

[gcburns]

I don't know, but I reffed soccer and I'm positive its a cakewalk compared to football and basketball.

From a fans view, I'd say basketball is the most difficult to ref. I think football -while there may be more rules and situations- can be broken down easier. The flow of a basketball game dictates almost all violations can be in effect at all times. Almost all rules in basketball are more subjective as well. Plus the fans and coaches are closer to you!

I know you weren't trying to figure out which sport was more difficult to ref, but I thought I'd give you my opinion anyway.
